Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival - Call For Submissions

The Call For Submissions for the 2008 Festival is NOW OPEN and screeners are already starting to pour in! The 12th annual edition of Canada's premier pan-Asian international film festival will take place November 12-16 this year.

As Canada's premier pan-Asian international film & video festival, the Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival is a unique showcase of contemporary Asian cinema. We exhibit works that highlight the diverse peoples, languages and cultures from Asia and the Asian diaspora. The festival is dedicated to presenting the finest works from East and Southeast Asian artists from Canada, Asia, the United States, and all over the world.

We invite you to submit independent features and shorts from all different genres. Be it obscure experimental works, complex political rants, ironic chop-socky kung fu flicks, deconstructionist mockumentaries, or minimalist GenerAsian-X slacker dramas; send us anything that is brilliant, creative, weird, or just plain entertaining.

FINAL DEADLINE: Monday June 16th, 2008 (entry fee: $10 CAD)
